Should I put any effort at all into finding out what kind of toys my children like? No I’ll just ask a glorified chatbot to do the equivalent of typing “top 5 Star Wars Lego sets” into google and buying everything from first Reddit thread it spits out.

I mean, would be neat to make something like “I want to fly there, so give me options, check also for rental cars and vacation homes with this-and-those constraints, give me a list and prices” and have it have a go on it. That would really make family vacation easier if I could trust the results.
But, lo and behold, I cannot trust the results at all, so it keeps being a fantasy (which destroys the world in the meantime, like, ecologically and economically). Then again: after destroying everything, no need for family vacation planning, so, yeah?

Yeah this would actually be fucking awesome but merchants are either lying or terrible at listing products in a way that’s actually useful for searching them or the results are weighted by whoever’s giving the search engine money.
I was looking for a desk mat on Amazon a while back and their ai couldn’t even find one with the dimensions I wanted. I had to scroll through dozens of them and find it myself. That should be an easy one, what other properties is a desk mat going to have besides it’s dimensions, what it’s made out of, and what color/picture is it? But no, lets make this take half an hour.
